Theta supplies were safely landed at Finisterre, and Capt. Sconstnnno brings nn account of three atlions hay- ing taken place between the Spanish Army, under the command of the Marquis de ROSIANA, and that Under the command of Gen, SOULT, in all of which 'the latter was defeated. It was in consequence of theseliefeats that SOULT entered the Northern part of Portugal :it was-by no means a matter of choice do his part, 'and such is the condition of his army, 'that tl►ere is every treason to believe that he will be 'compelled .to surrender, unless he should receive powerful asistattee from the Southward, from the army - under GenerA VICToit. We. are happy to 'add that the whole male population 'of Gallicia .are in arms and that the French arc confined to the :Fortresses , of Ferrol and Corunna. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

SPPPLESSED CORRESPOND ENCE , EtTRA * CT Olr. A LETTER FltoM AITt . rINCiNEY TO t: r 1 London, Sept. it, 1808. The Elope arri4.d at t owes tient France the lath. Not having heard from Mr. Cunning; "although he 'returned to Loiniton the t 6th, I called again Yes terday at Dowitiog-street, and 'was assured that:the answer to my note Scrdidd be sent to-night or :early to-morro w . evening. Ntr.--Atwater will, of course, 'be • able to leave town tau Friday, and eintsark on Saturday with a copy of I have been told since rs'se arrival cif the last Packet (bin do ,not belies',.: it), that there is issore probability than I had as ticipated, that the low events in Spain and Portul'el, which ought not sso be considered-as deciding atsv thing, would have alit, eft on public opinion in Atrterica against the con:, thipance of the embargo, sine favourahle .to all, the ;' purposes of Gr eat Britain. .If t hi s were true, I should think ; it' was deeply to V , e lamented. I may misunderstand- the subject, hu\ I cannot persuade -myself that any thing that has likopepedon this side the Atlantic ought to induce us in any degree to re treat from our present system.- If we should resolve to trade with Spaie and Portugal, Great Britain and 'France persisting in their Orders and Decrees, in any, way to which Great Britain would not objed, we must suspend the embargo as to , these countries fr only, 'or as to those countries and Great. Britain or Lkve must repeal it altogether. l'he temptation to the first of- the- courses is, even . in a Coninaerciak sense, inconsiderable---the objection to it endless. The objeel to be gained (if no more was gained than . Ought to be gained) would be trifling. There could: indeed be no gain; and inadequate markets redund antly supplied would be more injurious than no mar let at all—it would be a ltu'e to destrinStion, and nothing more. A suspension of the embargo, 9 o limited in its nature as this would be, supposing it could be in fait what it could be in 'form, would blvd most unequal and invidious operation in the different quarters of the Union, of which the vari-• ous commodities Would not, in the ports of Porto tell and Spain, be in equal demand. A war with France would be inevitable—and omit a war,: so produced, from which ue Could not hope to derive either honour or advantage, would place us at the mercy of Great. Britain ;` on'that account .would in the end do more to Ciipple and humble us, than any disaster that 'could otherwise befal us. The aalual, atateof Spain and Portugal 'is moreov e r not to tie relied upon. My firstopinion on that subject re mains. -But even the most sanguine will admit that there is great room to doubt. The Emperor of Fr:mewls evidently c4le6ting a Mighty force for the redinlioh of Spain: and POrtugal must share its fate: ' And . even it that force should be destined, as Horne suppose, first to contend with Austria, the speedy, subjugation of Spain is not the less certain. ff France should succeed, Spain and Portugal woad again fall under the British. Orders of November, as well as under the operation of the French Decrees. , Our cargoes would scarcely have found their way to the ocean in search of the boasted market, before they would be once more in a state of prohibition, and we shonld in the meantime have incurred the kNodal of suffering ati improvident thirst of gain to seduce us from our principles, .into a dilemma pre senting no alternative but loss, in all the senses of the word. i But it s not even certain what Great Britain would bersciffinally say to such a partial suspension of the embargo. She would .doubtless approve of it of * Ps/ 5 but. her ultimata course, especially if war be tween France and the United States were not the intrilediate consequence, or - if the measure were eventually less beneficial to herself than might be supposed at the outset, ought not to be trusted.--- . That she should approve at 'first, is hardly to be questioned ; and the considerations upon which she would do so are precisely those which should dissuade us from it. Some of these are—the aid it would allbrd to her allies, as well as to her owes troops co operating with them, and its consequent .tendency to destroy,every thing like system in our conduct ;, its 'tendency to embroil us with France; its tendency to induce us, by everstocking a' limited market,; to make our commodities of no vssiu6—to dissipate our scapital 7 -to ruin our merobants,withoutbenettlihgeur agriculture —to destroy .our, infant manufaCtures, without benefiting our commerce; its tendency to habituate us to a trammelled trade, and to ,tir us for acquiescence' in a maritime despotism. But there are other reasons. Our aide with Spain and Por tugal, while it lasted, wohltit be a 'circuitous one with Great Britain and her Colonies, for theirbene fit. Our produitions would be carried in - the first instance to Spain and Portugal, wnuld 'be brought there for British account, and :would find their way to the West Indies, or enter here, as British copves nience might require; and thus in effeet the, embargo be removed as to Great Britain, whil e i t cont i nued as to France, and we professes) to continue it as to both. And it any profits should arise from this sordid trot/lc/they would became a fund, to enable us to import into the - United States directly or inch reelly the nianufaetures of Great Britain ; end thus relieve her in another way, while her Orders would prevent us flout receiving, the comtmelities at he r enemy., ft teiould he filr better openly to take W. 4 enitaego as to Great Britain, than while atleaing try continue it as to that Power,- to do, what most rei-: cue her completely (and that too,: without titivate tage to ourselves) front the pressure of it; tit the same time it would promote her views against France, In Portugal and Spain. ' As to withdrawinif the embargo as to Great Bri tain, 'as well as Spain and Portugal, while, the Bris tish Orders are uoiepealed s ,the .objeions to that course ere just as strung rit)W as 'they w ere . pity* , :moths-ago. The change in Spain - and Portugal , if it were even likely, to last, cann ot touc h the princi-: ple of the embargo, as it regaids Great Britaiti, who re-asserts her Orders of November in the very ex planations of the 4 th of July, ender which we must 'traderwith those countries, if we trade with there at all.; It we includes - Great.
